intake bolt sealer

How are the intake bolts in the lifter valley....they go into the head unless the oil that goes through the head to the rockers has the intake bolts protruding into that it's the only place I can see oil traveling up the bolts. This is the first time I have ever heard of anyone putting sealer on an intake bolt.....or anybolt other than a header stud or bolt for that fact.

Can't think of any other spot other than the two outer exhaust bolts where a sealant is required. There, I used a bit of plumbers pipe dope. Resists hi temps, natural gas, gasoline, antifreeze, you name it.

Are your bolts bottoming? May threads need to be chased...just thinking out loud. Hope you figure this out.
